## What can BookFunnel deliver?

- Reader Magnets
- Secure ARCs
- New Readers
- Direct Sales
- In-Person Sales
- Extras

### Reader Magnets

You use a free "reader magnet" to entice new readers onto your mailing list. But, if readers have trouble downloading your free ebook, you may lose them as a subscriber (and fan!) for life.

You found the readers, let BookFunnel handle the ebook delivery.

Learn More

### Secure Review Copies

Advanced Review Copies, ARCs, or Betas... whatever you call them, we'll deliver them!

With BookFunnel Certified Mail, we'll send a unique, non-shareable download link to each member of your street team and let you know which reviewers downloaded the book.

Learn more about Certified Mail

### New Readers

BookFunnel makes it easy to organize author swaps and group promos.

With author swaps and group promos, your book is offered to new readers when the other author shares with their existing mailing list.

Learn more about swaps and promos

### Direct Sales

You sell, we deliver.

Sell ebooks through your online store and BookFunnel will deliver to your buyers. If your reader has any trouble with the book, our excellent support staff is available to lend a hand.

Learn more about Sales Delivery Actions

### In-Person Sales

Carry ebooks in your pocket to sell or give away at live, in-person events like conferences, book signings, and meetups. Provide each reader with a unique code to download their ebook.

### We'll Deliver Your PDF

Extended epilogues, short stories, samples, previews, worksheets, character dossiers, coloring sheets... we'll deliver any of your PDFs!

##### Your books. Your readers.
## Delivering ebooks— and then getting out of your way— since 2015

As a service built to help readers download *your* book, we'll never ask your reader to join *our* mailing list. We don't even have a reader mailing list!

You're sending books to readers so that they can actually read them. We can help.

#### Reader Privacy

Your subscribers trust you to protect their privacy, so be careful when selecting your publishing partners. BookFunnel will never show your readers ads or “recommendations” for other books, products, or services.

#### Link security and watermarking

Our links are private, so no one can find your book unless you (or someone else) shares the BookFunnel link with them. You can also set expiration dates and download limits, add watermarks, and even restrict downloads to only current subscribers.

#### GDPR Made Easy

The General Data Protection Regulation came into full effect in 2018 and we make it easy to tailor your opt-in pages so that you remain compliant. With just a few tickboxes, you can set your GDPR settings and we'll take care of the rest.

## Excellent Tech Support

So... why use BookFunnel to deliver your book files when you can \`\`just\`\` email them to readers or host them on a shared drive?

Because we're dedicated to making your life easier. Obviously.

We take care of your readers and make sure you still have a direct relationship with them.

If that isn't enough to convince you, then consider that readers are consuming ebooks on thousands of different reading devices and apps, each with its own quirks and issues. Don’t waste time trying to explain what a USB cable is or walk a reader through the 12-step Send-To-Kindle setup. Just send them to us.

We are especially skilled with older readers and we know more about sideloading ebooks than we are comfortable sharing. Having the BookFunnel help desk in your corner is like employing your own, personal tech support team 365 days/year (yep, even Christmas Day).

And that exceptional service is available to you-- and to your readers-- starting at only $20/year. Yes, really.

## Author Testimonials

We’ve been using BookFunnel from the beginning — and I do mean THE BEGINNING, when Damon attended one of our events, heard us griping about how hard it was to load our books onto readers’ devices, then proceeded to solve that problem. So of course we’re huge BookFunnel fans at Sterling & Stone. They made so much of our pain go away.

We can’t recommend BookFunnel enough, and do recommend it every chance we get. They’re making life better for all authors, curing one headache at a time.

##### Johnny B. Truant
###### Bestselling author and co-owner of the Sterling & Stone Story Studio

Bookfunnel has solved a rather tricky problem in the most elegant way and no one is better at delivering book files to readers.

I’ve been impressed by the quality of customer service – on the author and reader side. The price is right, it’s a great tool, support is excellent. I’m a big fan.

##### David Gaughran
###### Author of Let's Get Digital, Strangers to Superfans, and BookBub Ads Expert

BookFunnel has made my readers’ lives so much easier — and, in turn, mine! I receive several emails per week thanking me for how easy this new book delivery system is (as opposed to several emails per day about people having difficulty downloading or transferring their eBooks). For the few who do have problems, the BookFunnel team works closely with them to make sure each reader can download his or her free books. What can I say? #BookFunnelForLife

##### Melissa Storm
###### Indie author and president of Novel Publicity

BookFunnel solves one of the biggest pain points for writers trying to build an email list. It enables delivery of digital files in every format to any device with no problems at all. I give away advanced review copies to my readers as well as using free books to build my email list and I used to get loads of emails asking how to get those files onto devices. But now, I get none of these tech support emails, so BookFunnel makes my life easier and, more importantly, helps my readers get into the books more quickly. I use Bookfunnel every day and it’s quickly become an important part of my email list building process.

##### Joanna Penn
###### NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author

I’ve given away 10000s of copies of my books to new readers in return for them joining my mailing list. It’s well worth the effort, but it was getting to the point where helping them to sideload to their devices was becoming a bit of a time suck. I’ve been looking for something like BookFunnel for ages and, after a little bit of healthy skepticism, I’ve been blown away by how good it is. It’s the best tool I discovered last year, by far. I’ve introduced several hundred of my students to it, too, and they have been uniformly lavish in their praise. VERY highly recommended if you want to build your list and maintain your sanity.
